TECHNICAL FIELD

At least one embodiment of the present invention relates to wireless charging enhancement structure for implantable medical devices. More particularly, at least one embodiment of the present invention relates to long-range wireless charging enhancement structure for implantable medical devices.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

The technique related to disease treatments with implantable medical devices (IMDs) has been well developed for years, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment with deep brain stimulation (DBS) and heart disease treatment with artificial pacemaker. Particularly, active implantable medical devices (AIMD) are powered by batteries for the functionality. However, the electric energy stored in these batteries is only available for operating these implantable medical devices from 5 to 10 years. Once the batteries are completely consumed, it is necessary to replace them via surgeries. However, the abovementioned ways are not only inconvenience for users, but also financial burden due to surgery costs. Moreover, the risks of surgeries are considerable, since among the users suffering from these diseases, and the proportion of the elderly is quite high.

The present technology has been able to charge these active implantable medical devices (AIMD) wirelessly. The most common technique is to charge through inductive coupling of inductive coils by placing a receiving coil in the implantable medical device and a charging coil in a position close to the receiving coil outside the skin. Nevertheless, the inductive coils cannot be separated for more than a few centimeters, and the user would have to carry the charging coil with belts to keep it close enough to the implantable medical device and it may discomfort the user no matter on usual life or the mental aspect.

The other common technique is to charge through resonant inductive coupling which can wirelessly charge the implantable medical devices in a distance of 1 to 2 meters. However the sizes of the coils are relatively larger in order for oscillation frequencies of the charging coil and the inductive coil to match. It is not ideal for the use of implantable medical devices. Also, the output power is larger and may cause safety issues for medical use. Furthermore, it may not comply with regulations.

The emitter is configured to emit a plurality of charging signals. The carrier is arranged outside of a user's skin on one side of the emitter and the implantable medical device is arranged on the other side of the carrier relative to the emitter. And the enhancement module is arranged in the carrier.

Moreover, the plurality of charging signals are received by the enhancement module and transformed into a plurality of enhanced signals, and the implantable medical device receive the plurality of enhanced signals.
